Sweet! Do you remember the seller you got yours from?
If I recall correctly it was Selena_Moto88 where Seb got his fairings.

There's also a recent write up on them on the USA equivalent of the Storm forum.

Cheers Carl, well priced too. I wonder if theres any crazy import taxes??

:Ball Kick:
It's rare an item from China gets stopped, get anything from the states and your guarantee to get stung tho.

Also the fairing was very very well packed.

Came with a screen and some really good heat shields, I cut these to size and fitted where they are on the original fairings and there is a fair bit left over if you want to put it inside a lower fairing etc.

I have some pictures of putting it together somewhere I'll PM you a pink to them.

The mesh you can see in the rad holes I got from Poland on ebay, very good price, very cheap too, and it's powder coated.

And in case your wondering BSM, SIlk is the equivalent of Satin. He will be along shortly to compliment you and tell you the frame would look good in Satin. :lol:

Cheers. I dont know about the seat cowl, was either going to, spray it or have it carbon wrapped. What do you think?

Also thinking about going all black and having the wheels powder coated in gold.

Very rare they pop up for sale mate, if you had a spare frame you could graft some up fairly easy mind from a kit

Interesting to see the colour mixing and how it works out with the rear bodywork, been toying with what can be done with black, and whsiper it, red. Think the front fairing needs some element of the introduced colour so its not so front and back, top and bottom.

Lookin good though and with Virt on this, get some speedy black on and everything looks better :?

Thought BSM had got off his carbon kick and was a full paid up member of the satinistas :D

Satin finished carbon wrap. :lol: :lol:

Black and Yellow goes very well with each other so Does Black and Red. As long as you stick to the colours that work together in of nature then I think things seem to work.

You can even get paint that behaves like a Chameleon these days. It changes colour with different temperatures. :biggrin
